TTB --
The facts:
There were no mechanical defects found in any part of the drive train during the initial investigation.
The engine showed no signs of failure.
The pilot was not incapacitated.
Those are not the 'facts' as published thus far by the AAIB. Have you read the bulletin? The link has been repeatedly posted on this thread.

The report states:
Initial assessment provided no evidence of major mechanical
disruption of either engine and indicated that the main
rotor gearbox was capable of providing drive from the
No 2 engine power turbine to the main rotor and to the
fenestron drive shaft.
Clear impact distortion of the
structure had caused a splined shaft on the drive train
from the No 1 engine to disengage, preventing a similar continuity check
That is quite, quite different from your version. As for the pilot, it is not stated whether or not he was incapacitated and your statement is an inference by you.
